The Israeli Ambassador in the United Nations (UN), Danny Danon, praised this Sunday (22) the bombing of United States against nuclear facilities In Iran, classifying the action as “brave” and “necessary” to contain the threat represented by the Iranian nuclear program. “In the last 24 hours, history has changed,” Danon said during a speech at the UN headquarters. “The United States attacked Iran’s nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. It was a brave decision to remove the biggest threat to global security.” He also thanked the US president directly Donald Trump And he asked the Security Council to recognize the feat, “The world must say clearly ‘thank you’.”

The Israeli diplomat criticized what he called international silence in the face of the advance of the Iranian nuclear program. “Where they were when Iran ran toward the pump? When did you build underground fortresses to house weapons of mass destruction? ”He asked. Danon also stated that Israel will respond hard with any new attack on Iran against Israeli civilians.“ We will do anything necessary to secure our future, ”he said.

The ambassador’s comments occurred one day after the US performed air strikes against three Iranian nuclear facilities. According to US President Donald Trump, the targets were “completely destroyed.” He warned that new military actions are on the table if Iran does not choose to negotiate peace. Bombing represents a significant escalation in the conflict between Iran and Israelwith the United States being directly involved in the confrontation.

In response, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araye said the country was unjustly attacked and promised to react based on the “legitimate right to self -defense.” According to him, the attacks occurred while Iran had diplomatic negotiations with western powers. “We were talking to the Europeans in Geneva two days ago, and now that. They exploded everything,” he said.

Iran has not yet officially disclosed the number of victims or the extension of the damage caused by the bombing, but confirmed that the facilities affected were part of its uranium enrichment program. Fordow, one of the affected structures, houses about 3,000 centrifuges and operates in a strongly protected underground complex, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA).
